WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Angela, CEO

If you feel you need someone to walk with you a while to rediscover your inner strength, Dalia Ismail is an amazing companion on that journey.
Dalia is observant, skilled, empathetic, and she radiates positivity and energy which she shares with you throughout her practice and support.
My sessions with Dalia have helped identify the areas I needed to pay attention to, and gave me the understanding and methods to find my way to a much better place where I can now enjoy life again.

Dalia’s coaching has been really powerul. When I started with her my life was very disorganised, both professionally and personally.
​
Dalia has helped me revisit my values, strengths and purpose in life as well as addressing some limiting beliefs. This has allowed me to consider and work towards a better work-life balance to fit in with a new grandchild.
​
Dalia has motivated me to both take small steps towards and achieve some major goals.
· Build a portfolio of health and wellbeing
· Clarity on coaching niche and route.
· Decision to shift from full-time employment in the NHS to a flexible lifestyle of my choice (coaching and NLP)
· Enrolling and completing the Education in Coaching course with TCA
​
Dalia’s coaching style is relaxed and natural.
I am now loving life and feeling calm and positive for the future.

Susan, Pilot

After two coaching sessions with Dalia, through her professional questioning and coaching techniques, she really assisted me to establish my goal and decide on set targets and deadlines to make it happen.
Dalia was exceptional at guiding me through the process to determine my aims and develop my own plan of action with specific steps to get there, action points and realistic timescales.
Though her open and probing questions during the first session she really helped focus my mind on determining and achieving my main goal, which was to pass some notoriously difficult professional assessments with high standards and pass marks as a qualified Airline Pilot. We were then able to revisit this goal, in the second session and recognise what I'd achieved already by considering all the completed steps.
Seamlessly, through skilled coaching Dalia was then able to support me in tweaking and revising the plan of action and helped me to consider what had been key to the successes, what barriers to certain steps had been and then re-plan factoring in perceived threats using the areas we discussed. This experience has been exceptionally positive and beneficial. I noticed a marked difference in myself in my second session as I was already more focused and prepared for Dalia to extract the information from me so I could streamline and put it in a logical and realistic order to achieve results. The coaching sessions were fundamental to my passing of these assessments and instrumental to my success as a professional Airline Pilot. Many thanks to Dalia for her professionalism and skilled coaching techniques.

Dalia is an excellent coach with impecible communication skills. Dalia listens attentively, is able to pick up on signals and areas requiring further discussion and direction in order to ensure full understanding of the goal or issue from all sides. I found my coaching sessions with Dalia incredibly positive, Dalia left me feeling well equiped with the tools I have to hand to achieve my goals.
I loved the methodical approach Dalia used to work through the goals, breaking down to manageable tasks that could provide a sense of satisfaction once worked through bit by bit until the end result was achieved, with Dalia’s help.
I think Dalia has a natural flair for coaching and am very grateful to Dalia for all her help,

Dalia is a fantastic coach. Some of our sessions were 30 minutes and some were longer but I never felt rushed and she always allowed me time to think things through in my own time.
I especially liked the way she repeated or summarised back to me what I had said so I always knew that she was paying attention to what I said and it was also very helpful hearing my own words read back to me to see myself from a different perspective.
I would certainly recommend Dalia as a coach, as she is a great listener and very supportive.
